Application filed August 23, 1901. Serial No. 72,998. N m m a new and useful Improvement in an Attachment to the Chute of a Coin-Delivery Machine; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of my device.

My invention is an attachment more particularlyadapted to'be used on the coin-chute of the coin-delivery machine patented to E. J. Brandt October 2, 1900, No. 658,828; and

it consists of a triangular piece of metal hav-' ing its one side flat and the other side being thickest in the center and sloping thinner to-' ward the edges. The part of the Brandt device to which this attachment is fastened is the coiu-chute,which is designated by Fin the Letters Patent, the attachment being fastened to F just above the mouth of the coinchute, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 in the drawings, hereinafter described.

The object of my device is to prevent the lodgment of coins in the chute at'its mouth, and this is accomplished by the attachment having its inner side full or thicker in its center part and gradually sloping toward its edges. from each of the two sides of the chute at one time and both coins arrive at the upper part of itsmouth at the same time instead of striking each other squarely and looking they are both diverged from their course by means of the sloping sides of the attachment and prevented from locking at the mouth of the chute.

For a more complete description of my device I refer to my drawings hereto attached and made a part hereof.

Fig. 2 is a view of the chute with my device attached, looking at the chute from its mouth or bot tom. Fig. '3 is a side view of the chute. Fig. 4 shows the side of my device which is placed next the chute; and Figs. 5 and 6 are differ- I cut views of the attachment, showing more plainlyits shape.

In the drawings the attachment is designated by numeral 2 and is fastened to the chute by means of screws from the back part of the chute andis fastened directly above the mouth 3 of the chute.

adapted to screws and extend only partially through the attachment, as shown in Fig. 6.

Numerals 6 and 7, 8 and 9, and 10 and 11 are holes in which bolts or. screws are'placed to fasten the chute to other parts of the machine in which it is used, 13 and 14 being flanges in which the holes 8 and 9 are placed to enable the part to be fastened, as aforesaid.

The holes 4 and 5 in r the back side of the attachmenthave threads Having fully described my device, what I ABNER M. CROTHERS.
